coming back to this thread. I wonder if the rumor about a 3D body is not triggered by the close arrival of Nikon’s D800.

Nikon’s D700 was close to be the must-have FF camera (for experts), only lacking resolution for certain needs.
If the D800 is 18Mpx, then Canon must hurry and provide a competitor. 5Dii’s AF module is way too bad for moving subjects or low-light photos.

maybe it will crack some high speed AF with very high fps? A real 1Dm3 in a small body?

Rumor wise, or?

Number of megapixels doesn’t make the camera better or worse.

Wait, a FF camera with less MP than the 5D2 but costing almost twice as much. Think…

seems interesting, but the high price kinda throws it off

If that’s all the spec, hy would it be priced over the 5D Mark II?

Oops, the Specs source is CR1. So quite unreliable information on the specs.

Keep in mind the two rumors are combined. The CR3 source says there will be one. The Cr3 source never gives specs. The specs are from a different source, and he doesn’t specify how reliable that source is.

“The camera will be priced above the 5D2. Possibly in the $4000-$4500 range with the 1D Mark IV”

What a shock! But why I feel that it is 1Ds mark IV rather than what so called 3D?
The price strategy of Canon seldom collides with other segments and clearly differential. $4000 – $4500 is what exactly 1Ds mark IV may sit in.
But it also sounds strange that how can a camera equipped with less pixel than the last generation and single image processor push to such a high price. I don’t think it is good enough to be true.

I don’t think it could be priced alongside the 1D series. The 1D series will either be cheaper or more expensive in this purely hypothetical situation that a EOS 3D does make face any time in our lives. My thoughts are that it will probably be cheaper and lack the speed of the 1D series, but have a faster FPS than the 5D series has been notorious for lacking in.
